ExiledInIllinois Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) 4 hours ago, bbb said: I thought he died in a taxi............Might be mixing up my singer songwriters. And songs. Harry Chapin sang about flying (metaphor for getting high) in his taxi... But was killed in his VW by being rear-ended by a semi on the Long Island expressway. If you were playing baseball and up to bat... You would have struck out badly by taking three strong wiffs at the air... But not before fouling the pitcher off on 20 consecutive pitches. LoL... You were listening, but just couldn't put it all together. Kinda Nathan Peterson-esque. I'd put you on my roster! LoL... ?? 5 hours ago, Seasons1992 said: RIP Jim. Can't believe he was only 30.

I particularly like that the artist isn't featured in it. (Even better that Fagen's ugly mug in it.) He also had a pretty trippy video for Snowbound.
